A Light and Bright Houseboat on the River Thames in London

This houseboat on the River Thames in London has a wonderful history. Originally a working transport boat, ‘Beecliffe’ spent many years travelling up and down England’s waterways delivering coal and steel. However, as times changed, there became less need for transport boats and, in the intervening 80 years, she changed hands several times before being discovered by Gary Marshall, founder of beauty brand Anatomicals.

An all-round creative person, Gary cast his magic spell over the boat and transformed it into this light, airy and very beautiful home. These lovely photos were taken by Chris Snook for Houzz, you can see the full set of photos and can read my full interview with Gary here.
